Al-Hussayen's wife shared terrorist views, FBI claims

She faces deportation hearing Nov. 7; ex-UI student's trial slated for January

Agents are investigating whether money for terrorist activities was funneled through nonprofit, pro-Islamic charities set up in the United States.

Sami Al-Hussayen, seeking his doctorate in computer science at UI, is accused of managing Web sites used by the charities and radical sheiks to further terrorism.

Al-Hussayen's attorneys say he is far removed from terrorism, claiming he's a peace-loving family man who deplored the violence of Sept. 11, 2001.

The declassified FBI documents say Maha Al-Hussayen "made statements showing her apparent support of terrorism."

In one phone call recorded by FBI agents, Maha Al-Hussayen praised Chechen rebels for seizing hundreds of hostages at a theater in Moscow, Russia, in October 2002.

More than 150 people died when Russian police tried to overcome the terrorists and free the hostages.

When the caller asked Maha if she loved America, she responded "no" and laughed. "I love Kraft cheese," she said in the phone call.

In another conversation, the documents allege Maha and another woman discussed the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., and their impact in the United States.

Maha said American flags "are all over, with people wearing T-shirts with the flag and people kissing these flags, but nothing more."

"As for me, I bought a sandal that has a flag, so the whole of America would be under my feet," Maha said in the phone call. "And may the bountiful God increase their terror."

Maha later asked the caller what she thought of bin Laden, but the caller refused to discuss the topic, saying the FBI might be listening, the documents say.

Days before her husband's arrest last February, Maha spoke with her parents in another phone call intercepted by the FBI.

She discussed falsifying documents, apparently to present to the Saudi government so she could extend her stay in the United States.

"She asked her parents about making up an illness and having her relatives in Saudi, who are doctors, falsify documents which she would then present to the government," the documents say.

Her father recommended dropping the idea, saying it could get her six months to two years in jail.

The documents also accuse Maha of knowingly providing false statements to an FBI agent after her husband's arrest.

The saudi terror state and birthplace of islam funds the terrorists on our soil.

"Mr. Al-Hussayen as well as all the students interviewed during the sweep were provided lawyers paid by the Saudi Embassy, she said."
